This is a nice little book, which would certainly appeal to its intended audience of eleven- or twelve-year-old little girls.

Welcome to Mysten: a continent where the Five Kingdoms used to live in peace. Racial discrimination between Humans, Elves and Dwarves was abolished, and all was well... Until the Dwergi started a war. Now coined the War of Mages, the Dwergi believe magic should be abolished, and all races should be segregated and enslaved. Jax, a human from a small town wants to make his father abd brother proud by joining the army, but unseen forces are at work here. Is he really a murdered, or is there
